Our L.E.A.P.® (Learning Experience Academic Program) Curriculum uses fun, hands-on activities throughout early education to help children develop intellectually, socially and cognitively. Or as we say, to learn, play and grow.
Children love learning from characters—and studies show that it’s highly effective especially in preschool and early education. TLE® has a cast of unique, beloved characters, each one teaching children a new value or activity.

We were looking for a school that would provide social enrichment and a way to learn to interact appropriately with other children her age, as she was very shy and quiet up until that time. Within a few weeks, she was noticeably more talkative ... Read more
